In like Flynn at the chance of starting a thread again - I promise I will leave it to the experts after this :P

Coming up this week are...

There seems to be a music theme with the Late Late Show line-up this week.

U2 bass player Adam Clayton will be among Ryan Tubridy’s guests this Friday, where he will talking about the band and Walk in My Shoes – the mental health campaign that aims to combat stigma.
Rockabilly Imelda May will also be chatting to Ryan and performing her new single live on the show.
Finally, top musician Christy Moore Christy Moore will be joined by Frank Connolly and Tom Gilmartin Jr to discuss how the culture of greed in Ireland.
The trio will also be talking about corruption at the heart of Irish politics, and how this has impacted Irish society.

Ah hee-or, that's a bit early! Nice puppehs and kittehs though.

Won't make the start of the LLS, but should make the last hour or so.

2000th post. Congrats twirlagig.

Birneybau · 01-05-2014 4:05pm

Bumping this up.
Hmm, sounds like Tubridy will be in his element, lots of gloom and doom.

JM Skipton · 02-05-2014 1:45pm

Looks like it could be an interesting show, especially the political discussion.
I must be in a minority of one in that I don't get the appeal of Imelda May.

Anyway a few of these chilling in the fridge for later on

As a protest to a non-expert starting the thread I will be boycotting the show tonight.....

Also, I'm working tonight...

Is that Columbia 3 Frank Connelly?

I think so. Brendan O'Connor doesn't rate him very highly, it's a pity he isn't doing the interview

Brendan O'Connor wrote:

Frank is apparently secretly in league with international terrorists. It seems that he travelled around on a false passport with senior members of the IRA. In fact, according to the Minister for Justice, who I trust more than I trust the Frank Connollys or the Bobby Ballaghs of the world, it seems that Frank was involved in getting massive amounts of money for the IRA in return for them teaching Colombian terrorists how to kill people.

And apparently Tubridy is the queen of sheba. It seems everyone at RTE knows this as a fact. Apparently.

Question that won't be asked - "Adam, is it true you fell off the wagon and taped Jeremy Kyle over the new U2 album ?"

Ol' Donie · 02-05-2014 7:23pm

Hmm...

Don't want to seem too positive too early, but I like the look of tonight's show.

Might not be the very most fun ever, but it should at least be interesting.

Imelda May is a funny one. One of quite a small number of RTE regulars that I want to see continue to succeed. She always seems really sound, and although her music isn't the most original in the history of the world, it's different enough to be interesting.

(Others I like to see succed are Brendan & Domhnall Gleeson, probably Colin Farrell and (probably controversially) Pat Shortt).

Christy Moore's prescient views on the culture of greed could be written on the back of a guitar pick.

I wonder how much it costs to see Christy Moore in concert? Not cheap, I'd imagine.

Don't expect Christy to touch on that point. Looking forward to his sweaty soliloquy.

Welsh Megaman · 02-05-2014 9:31pm

Evening all!

An intense and fruity number...but enough about me, the wine tastes ok :pac:

grey_so_what · 02-05-2014 9:33pm

Good evening all, you are fierce posh WM with your fine wine......

Gottle of Geer for me.....:)

Vorenus400 · 02-05-2014 9:34pm

If they are discussing Riverdance, I wonder who will be the first to say, "I got shivers down my spine." Every time some talking head appears talking about it they use that phrase. It has become compulsory.

It's actually true. I was there and I can honestly say the roof lifted when it finished.

20 years.

:eek:

grey_so_what · 02-05-2014 9:37pm

Dam, I have to get my shoes on first.....

Welsh Megaman · 02-05-2014 9:38pm

What's going on here?

Oh, right.

delbertgrady · 02-05-2014 9:39pm

Ah, the old "Let's bring the camera all around Montrose" trick.
Not an original idea in their heads.
